What should Motherwell homeowners know about single sectional doors?
What are the usual sizes?
Common UK openings are about 7 by 7 feet (2134 by 2134 mm), 7 feet 6 by 7 feet, and 8 by 7 feet (2438 by 2134 mm), but older and newer garages vary. The door is made to your measured opening.
Can you widen the drive-through width?
Many single sectional doors are fitted behind the opening, which can give a slightly wider clear opening than the old frame allowed. The survey shows what clear width you will end up with.

What will a single sectional door cost in Motherwell?
Guide price: £1,695–£3,195 inc VAT. Prices include VAT and fitting. Building work to the opening or a new electrical circuit would be quoted separately.
Our free survey checks the opening, headroom above it, room either side for the tracks, garage depth and where an operator will be powered from.
Do you need permission in Motherwell?
If your property in Motherwell is listed, in a conservation area or on an estate with planning conditions, North Lanarkshire Council is the authority to check with before ordering.
Scottish rules normally allow a like-for-like garage door without permission. Conservation areas are stricter because the householder permitted development class for external alterations does not apply there.

Questions from Motherwell customers
Will I lose headroom inside the garage?
The door parks under the ceiling, so the clear height inside is reduced by the parked door and tracks. On low ceilings a low-headroom track keeps the door tighter to the ceiling.
Can a sectional door fit my existing opening?
In most cases, yes. We check headroom above the opening, side room for the tracks and the depth of the garage at survey.
Which parts of Motherwell do you cover?
We cover Motherwell across postcode districts ML1, ML3, ML4, along with nearby Bellshill, Hamilton and Wishaw. Dates are agreed when you book.
Do I need planning permission for a new garage door in Motherwell?
Usually not for a like-for-like door. In Scotland a visibly different door in a conservation area is likely to need permission, and listed buildings need consent. If in doubt, check with North Lanarkshire Council.
